1.1 About the measurement of

electromagnetic fields
In the modern world, people live and work virtually permanently in the vicinity of technical
equipment that generates electromagnetic fields. With increasing research into their effect
on humans, there is an increasing awareness of the problem and availability of information
on this topic. Limits have long since been defined by various bodies to protect users from
exposure to emissions.
1.2 About the Narda FieldMan

The Narda FieldMan measures non-ionizing radiation and low frequency fields with the
highest accuracy. With its digital measuring probes for electric and magnetic field
strengths, the instrument covers the range from static and low-frequency fields in medical
and industrial applications to mobile phone frequencies and millimeter waves. Both
broadband HF probes with a flat frequency response and “shaped probes” are available,
which evaluate the field strength according to a personal protection standard. Probes
with integrated FFT analysis allow spectral measurements and analysis in the time
domain up to frequencies of 400 kHz. All probes have a digital interface that transmits the
measurement data to the base unit without interference. This eliminates the need for cal-
ibration of the base unit.
The newly developed, extremely powerful Narda-TSX PC software is available for evalu-
ating and documenting the measurement results, media and other information. It is
Narda's new software platform that will support other Narda products in the future in addi-
tion to FieldMan. The firmware update is also performed via the PC software
(see 11 PC software and updates on page 109).

1.3 Supported probes
Applications and standards

The FieldMan enables precision measurements to ensure the safety of people, espe-
cially in working environments where high electric or magnetic field strengths are
expected. A key task is to demonstrate compliance with general safety regulations such
as FCC, IEEE, ICNIRP or the EMF Directive 2013/35/EU. Examples of measurement
environments are:
• Broadcast transmitters (e.g. IEC 62577)
• Radio base stations (e.g. IEC/EN 62232)
• Induction heating and melting (e.g. EN 50519)
• Household appliances (e.g. IEC/EN 62233)
• Electric welding equipment (e.g. IEC/EN 62822)
• Railroad environment (e.g. EN 50500)
• Vehicle environment (e.g. IEC 62764)
• Power supply systems (e.g. IEC/EN 62110)
• Medical electrical equipment (e.g. IEC/EN 60601)
• TEM cells and absorber chambers for the verification of electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC)
1.3 Supported probes

A variety of isotropic field probes are available for the FieldMan. All of them transmit their
information and measurement data as a digital signal to the FieldMan, either via an elec-
trical USB interface or via an optical COM interface. In this way, interference is almost
completely eliminated compared to high-impedance analog interfaces. The specially
developed screw connectors and electrical contacts are extremely robust and resistant.
The probes are automatically detected after connection to the FieldMan.
The characteristics of the probes are listed in the respective data sheet. The following
probe types are supported:
• Broadband probes with digital interface for FieldMan (P/N 2462/xx)
• Selective probes with digital interface for FieldMan (P/N 2463/xx)
• EHP-50F and EHP-50G field analyzers with optical interface (P/N 2404/xxx)
• HP-01 magnetometer with optical interface (P/N 2405/xxx)

12 FieldMan Narda
2.5 Correct handling of rechargeable batteries
2.4.2 Undervaluation of the field strength

Metallic stickers in the sensor area of the probe can lead to measurement errors,
especially to undervaluation of the electromagnetic field strength.
⇒ Attach all types of stickers to the black probe shaft only.
⇒ An automatic self-test function can detect any probe faults, alerts the user and does
not allow further measurement in case of serious faults. The sensor system is also
checked for open circuits and short circuits in the process. In case of doubt, a test
generator (see accessories in the data sheet) can also be used for checking.
⇒ If a malfunction is suspected, take the unit out of operation and contact your Narda

4.4 Power supply/rechargeable battery

operation
This device uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery pack, which is installed and pre-charged
in the device. The included USB-C Power Delivery charger (12 V, 3 A) enables fast
charging of the built-in rechargeable batteries. A full charge takes place within 4 hours,
with 80% of capacity reached after just 2.5 hours.
4.4.1 Operation with charger connected

Measuring with the charger connected can influence the measurement properties.
This means that compliance with the technical data is no longer guaranteed.
With the above restriction, the FieldMan can be powered from any USB interface that
supplies a current of at least 1 A. Operation is then also possible without a built-in
rechargeable battery.
⇒ Use a floating power supply for long-term operation, e.g. a suitable power bank (PD
12 V, 2.5 A, BC1.2 and QC3.0).
⇒ To ensure compliance with the permissible radio interference emissions, use only
the supplied charging power supply or the car charger (optional accessory) from
Narda.
4.4.2 Operation with rechargeable battery

⇒ Fully charge the rechargeable battery pack before commissioning.
Charging rechargeable batteries

If the device is not expected to be used for several months:
⇒ Charge the device before storage to avoid deep discharge.
Starting the charging process:
1. Plug the included USB-C charging power supply with the matching country adapter
into a power outlet.
2. Connect the FieldMan with the supplied USB-C cable.
↳ The charging process begins.
Not all USB-C cables support fast charging with Power Delivery.

Narda FieldMan 25
4.5.2 Connecting the probe to the optical input

The HP-01 and EHP-50F/GF field analyzers are connected to the optical input of the
FieldMan. A suitable optical cable is included with the probes.
Connecting a probe:
1. Go to GENERAL SETTINGS > CONNECTIVITY > OPTICAL INTERFACE and select
Probe.
2. Connect a suitable probe via the optical cable to the optical connector on the
FieldMan (see Fig. 2: 7).
⇒ For more information on using a probe via the optical link, refer to the operating in-
structions for the probe.
4.5.3 Test probe

After connecting a probe to the probe connector, a self-test is automatically started. The
digital part, the analog part and the measuring sensors of the probe are checked for cor-
rect function. If a fault is detected that could affect the measurement, a corresponding
message is displayed and measurements are not possible.
WARNING
Probe is not working properly
Due to a defective probe, any high radiation levels that may be present cannot be
detected.
⇒ Observe the information displayed during and after the self-test of a probe. If there
is any doubt about the correct functioning of the probe, a test source (see accesso-
ries in the data sheet) can be helpful to check the probe.
⇒ In order to make the correct probe selection, you should always obtain knowledge
of the expected frequency and field strength before starting a measurement.
4.5.4 Attaching marking rings

Broadband probes are provided with a groove for a marking ring in the area of the con-
nector. Probes are generally supplied with a black ring. Users of different probes are
offered the possibility to distinguish the probes more easily by attaching colored rings.
The scope of delivery includes 5 colored rings for this purpose.

7.1 Setting types

On this device, a distinction is made between Device settings and Measurement set-
tings.
7.1.1 Device settings

Device settings include all parameters that affect the general device behavior or the form
of the display, but do not affect the measurement itself. The device always remembers
the last used device settings, stores them on the SD card and loads them the next time
the device is started. Device settings, with the exception of EXPERT SETTINGS, are not
saved in a setup.
Open device settings:
⇒ Press SK4.
For information on device settings, see the following sections:
• GENERAL SETTINGS on page 45
• EXPERT SETTINGS on page 47
• POSITION AND TIME on page 48
• CONNECTIVITY on page 50
• INFORMATION on page 51
• SETUPS on page 53
• DATA LOGGER on page 91
7.1.2 Measurement settings

These include all parameters that influence a measurement. They are grouped under the
softkey SK2 and are supplemented by the settings under EXPERT SETTINGS (see
7.5 EXPERT SETTINGS on page 47). Only measurement settings are used for saving
and loading a setup.
Open measurement settings:
⇒ Press SK2 in the respective operating mode.
Information on the measurement settings can be found in the description of the respec-
tive operating modes.

7.2 Personalizing device settings

Measuring instruments are often used by several people. The FieldMan offers a quick
and easy way to personalize settings, setups and measurement results through its
removable memory card. We therefore recommend every user to use their own personal
memory card.
Using a new memory card is completely hassle-free:
⇒ Insert new memory card.
↳ The required directory structure is created automatically.
Narda recommends the use of high quality memory cards for industrial applications.

7.5 EXPERT SETTINGS

This submenu is probe-dependent and can only be selected if an HF probe or BFD-400
is connected. There are no adjustment options for other probes.
7.5.1 POST-PROCESSING
In this submenu, settings can be made for HF probes that require precise knowledge of
the prevailing field. If the frequency of a field source is known and is specified here as the
reference frequency, a more accurate display result can be obtained by applying the cor-
rection factor stored in the probe, or the percentage of the limit that has been reached can
be displayed in % relative to a safety standard (see 10.1 Post-Processing on page 98).
HF probes are broadband probes and cannot measure selectively at the set frequency.
In the case of incorrect frequency specification or multifrequency fields, these settings
can therefore lead to incorrect results.

The information under Narda Calibration Date or Third-Party Calibration Date

(most recent date counts) and Recalibration after (months) are used as a reminder
function for an upcoming calibration. The values are stored in the EEPROM of the
connected probe. No values can be changed for the EHP-50F/G and HP-01 probes.
There is therefore no Third-Party Calibration Date here and the recommended
calibration interval is always 24 months.
7.9 SETUPS
A setup contains all changeable settings that can influence a measurement and its mea-
surement result. This includes all settings under MEASUREMENT SETTINGS (see in
the respective operating mode) and EXPERT SETTINGS (see 7.5 EXPERT SETTINGS
on page 47).
Using a setup can greatly simplify and speed up the preparation of recurring measure-
ments. In addition, faulty measurements due to incorrectly selected settings can be ruled
out.
Since the selection options offered and the saved setups depend on the type of probe
connected in each case, the submenu can only be activated when the probe is plugged
in. The device setups are stored separately according to the 4 defined probe groups on
the SD card of the device.
7.9.1 SD card directory structure

The setups are stored in the directory structure specified below. A maximum of 99 setups
can be created per subdirectory.

Narda FieldMan 53
7 Device settings
In the delivery state, the directories are empty. Measurement settings are saved to one
of the above directories whenever the instrument is turned off, a probe is disconnected
or unplugged, or the user saves the current measurement settings as a setup with the
probe connected.
The last general device settings used (see 7.3 GENERAL SETTINGS on page 45) are
also saved on the SD card when the device is switched off. Since the settings are
probe-independent, they are stored in the Device Settings directory. When the device
is switched on, these settings are loaded or – if the file is missing – the factory settings
are loaded.
7.9.2 Switching on the device without a probe

connected
Without a probe connected, only the probe-independent Last Device Settings are loaded.
The last measurement settings Last Settings are loaded only after a connected probe
has been detected.
7.9.3 Switching on the device with a probe

connected
After switching on the device, the last used device and measurement settings are
restored by loading the two settings files. If one of the files is not available, the factory
settings are loaded instead.
7.9.4 Probe change during operation

If a probe is unplugged while the device is running, the current measurement settings are
saved as Last Settings for this probe type. When reconnecting the same probe type, the
same Last Settings will be used. If another probe type is detected instead, the Last Set-
tings for this probe type will be loaded.

8.1 Overview of operating modes and

probe types
Depending on the connected and recognized probe type, the following operating modes
are available for selection in the FieldMan:
Operating mode (abbre- HF probes HP-01 EHP-50F/G BFD-400-1

viation1)) (DC/LF) (LF) (LF)
FIELD STRENGTH (FS) X X X X

TIMER LOGGING (TL) X X X X
SPECTRUM (SP) – X X X
SHAPED TIME DOMAIN – – X X
(ST)
1) Name displayed on the soft key in connection with the mode symbol
The operating mode is selected and displayed on the device via SK1. SK1 is only
available for selection when a valid probe has been detected.
FIELD STRENGTH (FS)

Measurement of field strength or flux density and numerical representation of the mea-
surement results for a defined frequency range, which may be broadband or band-lim-
ited. A time curve (Time Curve) can be optionally activated for the measurement results,
which is implemented as a rolling memory.
⇒ See 8.2 FIELD STRENGTH on page 60.
SPATIAL AVERAGE (SA)
Allows spatial averaging of measured field strength values from multiple measurement
positions and is mostly required for measuring thermal effects with HF probes. Averaging
is done via the square of the field strength values (RMS averaging). In addition, a delay
can be set for the measurement start. This allows the person performing the measure-
ment to move away from the measuring location to avoid influencing the field.
⇒ See 8.3 SPATIAL AVERAGE on page 67.
58 FieldMan Narda
TIMER LOGGING (TL)
Time-controlled broadband measurement of field strength values in a definable period of
time. With the RMS detector type, all measured values (samples) acquired in a measure-
ment interval are condensed into isotropic min/avg/max values that characterize the
measurement interval. With the peak detector type (BFD-400 only), the acquired mea-
sured values (samples) are compressed to an isotropic max value.
⇒ See 8.4 TIMER LOGGING on page 71.
SPECTRUM (SP)
FFT analysis of the measurement signal in the selected frequency range with display of
the frequency spectrum, frequency marker evaluation and display of the broadband
level. With the % unit selected, a normalized representation of the frequency response is
shown, related to the limit values of a selected standard.
⇒ See 8.5 SPECTRUM on page 78.
SHAPED TIME DOMAIN (ST)
Evaluation method in the time domain for the gapless recording of the weighted peak or
RMS values with display of the exposure index in % related to a selectable personal pro-
tection standard. Whether the peak or RMS detector is used is defined in the measure-
ment method standards IEC/EN 62233 for household appliances (Weighted RMS) or
IEC/EN 62311 for other appliances (Weighted Peak).

8.2 FIELD STRENGTH

The FIELD STRENGTH operating mode is used to measure the field strength or flux den-
sity and enables the numerical display of the measurement results for a defined fre-
quency range. This frequency range can be broadband or band-limited. A time curve
(Time Curve) can be activated as a rolling memory for the measurement results.
This is the most commonly used mode for broadband or band-limited measurements.

The MEASUREMENT SETTINGS menu provides quick access to the most important
measurement settings for the selected operating mode.

8.3 SPATIAL AVERAGE

The SPATIAL AVERAGE operating mode enables the spatial averaging of measured
field strength values over 1 to a maximum of 100 measuring positions. It can also be use-
ful to measure at a single measuring position, in order to record the field strength in a
specific spatial volume there, averaged over the desired measuring time, by continuous
movement of the measuring probe.
The spatial averaging is determined by quadratic averaging over all measured positions
and displayed as a horizontal line in the bar graph. The measurement per position can be
stopped automatically after a preset time or manually. An adjustable delay allows the per-
son performing the measurement to leave the measurement site before the measure-
ment starts.

10.1 Post-Processing
⇒ See 7.5.1 POST-PROCESSING on page 47.
This menu contains settings for post-processing the measurement data of broadband HF
probes. These setting options are thus limited to the operating modes of FIELD
STRENGTH, SPECTRUM and TIMER LOGGING. Two types of post-processing are
available:
• The application of a correction factor
• The conversion to display in % of the standard for measured field strengths at a
reference frequency
For evaluating probes, only the correction factor can be applied.
10.1.1 Applying a correction factor

⇒ See 7.5.1 POST-PROCESSING on page 47: Apply Correction Factor CF
When calibrating the HF probes, the measuring error at the defined calibration frequen-
cies is recorded and stored in the probe. If the correction is applied (Apply Correction
Factor CF = On), then the measuring error is taken into account in the measurement
result and thus a higher measurement accuracy is achieved. However, the correction can
only be applied meaningfully when measuring at a single prevailing frequency, which
must also be known. If this frequency does not exactly correspond to a calibration fre-
quency, it can still be entered as a reference frequency (Reference Frequency) and the
corresponding correction factor is then determined by interpolation from the adjacent cor-
rection factors.
10.1.2 Setting the reference frequency

⇒ See 7.5.1 POST-PROCESSING on page 47: Reference Frequency
Reference Frequency provides a selection list of probe-specific calibration frequencies.
In addition, the input of any frequency is possible with a resolution of up to 1 kHz.
The last set value in MHz is always displayed, even if the frequency no longer matches
the probe after a probe change. Only when the calibration factor or the display in % of the
standard are activated is the frequency list updated by reading from the probe data and
set to the lowest value.
98 FieldMan Narda
Set the reference frequency:
1. Select Reference Frequency.
↳ A list opens with the calibration frequencies stored in the probe. The last selected
value is automatically highlighted.
2. If necessary, select another value from the list.
In addition to the values from the list, any intermediate value can be set with a resolution
of 1 kHz.
Set any value:

1. After selecting Reference Frequency, press the SK1 softkey.
2. Set the digit and value with the cross key.
3. Press SK4 to transfer the new value to the selection list.
↳ The pen symbol indicates a frequency where calibration has not been performed
and where the calibration factor is determined by interpolation. There can be only
one entry with pen symbol at a time. This remains in the list until another fre-
quency value is selected and is then deleted again.
HF probes are broadband probes and cannot measure selectively at the set frequency.
In the case of incorrect frequency specification or multifrequency fields, these settings
can therefore lead to incorrect results.
10.1.3 Display in % of standard

Non-evaluating probes measure the field strength. The % of Standard unit is only avail-
able for selection for these probes if the conversion for a specific personal protection
standard has been activated in the menu. The measured value display in % is related to
the power density and not to the field strength.
Activate conversion:
✓ DEVICE SETTINGS > EXPERT SETTINGS
1. Select Standard.
2. Reference frequency of the field (Reference Frequency) indicated.
3. Activate % of Standard: Select Lowest Limit or Reference Frequency.
The reference to the lowest limit value of a standard (Lowest Limit) is recommended
when the frequency of the field source is not known.
The Lowest Limit setting is not available if the use of the correction factor is switched
on.

GHz.
The standard selected in the menu is also shown in the display (in the yellow field above
the isotropic measured value).
10.2 Selection of a standard

There is a wide range of national and international standards setting exposure limits for
electric and magnetic fields. They can differ in frequency range and range of effect (influ-
ence on the body).
The standards (limit value curves) to be available for selection on the FieldMan can be
configured via the Narda-TSX PC software. Predefined standards are available, which
can be extended by self-created standards.
User-defined standards are saved on the SD card during configuration and are marked
on the device with a preceding asterisk. Predefined standards, on the other hand, are
stored in the FieldMan.
The standards for evaluative measurements of the SHAPED TIME DOMAIN operating
mode are implemented in the measuring probes and can only be changed by a firmware
update of the manufacturer.
100 FieldMan Narda

10.2 Selection of a standard
10.2.1 Standards for HF probes

The HF probes of the FieldMan measure broadband frequencies and cannot be set to a
specific frequency. The measurement result can be displayed as the percentage of the
limit value that has been reached if the frequency of a field source is known or in relation
to the lowest limit value above the frequency of a standard. The settings are made in the
menu under EXPERT SETTINGS.
A selection of predefined standards appears below. The selection options in the Field-
Man may differ from this and depend on the device configuration.

10.2.2 Standards for LF probes

For the LF probes, the standard is used to display the limit curve graphically in the spec-
trum or to display the measurement result as a normalized spectrum. The selection is
made under MEASUREMENT SETTINGS > Standard. The same table applies as for
HF probes. The selection None is used to switch off the display of a limit value curve in
the SPECTRUM operating mode.
10.3 Offset correction – Zero

⇒ See measurement settings in the operating modes.
Manual offset correction is only required for the HP-01 probe. The correction process is
started by triggering Zero in the measurement settings and is recommended before mea-
suring small static fields. For offset correction of the HP-01, the sensor tip must be placed
in a zero field chamber before the correction process is started, in order to exclude the
influence of external fields and especially that of the earth's magnetic field.
Perform the offset correction:
1. Press SK2, then select Zero.
↳ A dialog box opens.
2. Follow the instructions in the dialog box.
3. Continue with SK4 or cancel with SK1.
↳ The progress and completion of the offset correction are displayed.

10.8 Display of overdriven measured values

Overdriving can lead to damage or even destruction of a measuring probe. In addition,
during overdriving, the measurement results are undervalued due to the occurring com-
pression and thus recorded as too low. Measurement data stored in data records are
identified by override symbols.
A currently overdriven state is indicated by a red instead of a yellow display field in con-
nection with an upward pointing triangle symbol
Due to previous overdriving, the statistical measured values of MAX, MAXAVG and AVG
are also undervalued and are therefore displayed in red after overdriving has occurred.
In this case, the values in the measurement settings should be reset.

The newly developed, extremely powerful Narda-TSX PC software is available for evalu-
ating and documenting the measurement results, media and other information. It is
Narda's new software platform that will support other Narda products in the future in addi-
tion to FieldMan. The PC software is also required for firmware updating and enables
remote control of the FieldMan.
For connection to a PC, the FieldMan has the following interfaces:
• Serial COM interface via the USB-C port
• Network interface via the Ethernet port
• Serial COM interface via the optical port

110 FieldMan Narda

11.1.3 Establishing an optical connection
In principle, an optical connection can also be established with a PC and the PC software
can be used via this connection. However, due to the higher transmission speed, a USB
or Ethernet connection is much better suited for this purpose. However, for remote mea-
surements with HF probes, the optical connection via fiber optic cable and optical-electri-
cal converter to USB is the best solution, because in this way interference is avoided.
Establish an optical connection:
1. Under GENERAL SETTINGS > CONNECTIVITY > OPTICAL INTERFACE, select
the Remote function.
2. Connect the device at the optical connector (see Fig. 2: 7) to a PC via the optical
cable.
